How do you like your
hero?

I love romances of all
kinds—from sweet and passionate to hot and wicked. As far as heroines go, there
is the naïve virgin, the damaged but tough as nails spitfire, the sexy siren.
They come in all shapes, sizes, and temperaments.

When it comes to the
hero? He is thoughtful and tender, open and giving, but—at turns—brooding and
mysterious. He is burly but nimble, romantic yet pragmatic, sexy and stoic.

The hero can be the
true everyman.

I know, I get it. He’s
a fantasy guy. It’s nice to think that a man can be everything for his woman at
any given time. I love that. I really do.

But, there are rare
occasions when the realist in me sneaks in and says, “What?” No man that I’ve
ever known would say or do anything like that. It’s romantic for sure. But,
really?
